I joined WWOOF because I wanted to step outside of my familiar surroundings in Germany and truly immerse myself in a different culture. Traveling can sometimes feel distant or superficial, but WWOOF offers the chance to live and work alongside locals, which to me feels much more authentic and meaningful. A friend recommended the program, and the more I learned about it, the more I felt it aligned with what I was looking for. I’m especially drawn to eco-friendly farming and sustainable lifestyles. Instead of a commercial or tourist-oriented experience, I hope to contribute to something more grounded: working with the land, learning practical skills, and being part of daily life. I see WWOOFing as not just a way to travel, but also as a way to grow personally, gain new perspectives, and connect with people who value community and the environment.

I decided to join WWOOF because I wanted a deeper, more authentic connection to the world around me. Traveling has always inspired me, but I realized that simply visiting places wasn’t enough—I wanted to experience life from the perspective of the people who care for the land. WWOOF offered exactly that opportunity. By working on organic farms, I can learn practical skills, understand sustainable living, and contribute to something meaningful. I was also drawn to the idea of cultural exchange. Staying with hosts, sharing daily routines, and learning from their experiences allows me to form genuine relationships rather than staying on the surface. WWOOFing lets me step outside my comfort zone, grow personally, and live more intentionally. Ultimately, I joined WWOOF to learn, to connect, and to make a positive impact while exploring the world in a mindful and respectful way.

We are located in the beautiful Yarra Valley just outside Melbourne, Australia.  The area is renowned for it's wineries and natural features such as Mt Donna Buang, waterfalls and the meandering Yarra River.  We run a wildlife shelter, caring for small numbers of native wildlife.  Predominantly kangaroos and possums.

I want to make my time in Australia more meaningful. WWOOFing allows me to connect with locals, learn new skills, and experience something unique that I couldn’t get from regular city life or part-time jobs. Australia has beautiful nature and large farms, so I want to experience that lifestyle and learn how people live in harmony with the environment.

We joined WWOOF because we want to deepen our experience in organic farming, learn practical skills, and connect with people who share similar values. As we travel through Australia, we’re excited to learn from different hosts, expand our knowledge about sustainable living, and contribute with our hands and enthusiasm. For us, WWOOF is the perfect way to combine meaningful work, cultural exchange, and personal growth.

We are a couple, 30 years old, who love our city, Copenhagen, and our life here together with our pup Miso. However, we both feel really drawn to working with our hands, close to nature, by contributing to an organic farm project. We dream of finding a community or family to support with our work, in a warmer climate (at least warmer than Scandinavia!). We are both incredibly passionate about nature and sustainability and are considering starting our own homestead in nature in the near future. Vlad is handy, skilled in woodworking, and a bit of a Jack of all trades, while Tedi loves cooking, pickling, and exploring new flavours.

A good friend of mine went to Australia a few months ago and he told me about it. It sounded like a great way to safe a little bit of money and see the real way of Australian life and not just be among backpackers like myself the whole time.

My family and I (4 grown up daughters and their partners) are creating a cafe/restaurant and child care centre on an 11 acre property on outskirts of Perth metro area. The property is 8km from Cockburn train station and 25 minutes drive from Perth city. Whilst My children will be running the businesses, my interest lies in farming the surrounding land based on organic/permaculture principles, with food forests, organic vegetable growing area and small animals to teach children about caring for animals and how to grow food. The organic food and pasture-fed eggs we grow will go to the restaurant to be a part of the menu. My wife is heavily involved in climate change action groups and that’s how she makes her contribution to the future of the planet. Whilst we have the same goals, I am more comfortable helping people learn about putting carbon back into the soil and enjoying the benefits of healthy food at the same time. We hope to have day courses when we are established to teach people about permaculture. There is a lot of local interest in the project. We would love you to become involved and feel the satisfaction of seeing it evolve. We have accommodation available in a small caravan for 2 people, plus a renovated sea container for 2 people All food and lodging is included. You will need to do your own cooking and sometimes share food with other Woofers For more info go to ‘11 acre farm’ on Instagram to see the progress we are making.

Hi, my name’s Grant, thanks for stopping by. I’ve been wwoofing around the world for over 10 years. I am now creating an opportunity to pay some of those amazing experiences forward by hosting wwoofers amongst the urban growing spaces I have set up and contribute to in Sydney’s inner west The nature of our location means I can only host people who already have an interest in small-scale food growing

I speak English intermediate and my friend too but we learn again. We are social and we have too many different experiences in Woofing in Australia and Tasmania. We looking for urgently a house for monday for just one week the time for us to help you and looking for a room in house share for continuate our jobs and travel. We staying together just one months but we are good workers and friendly. Let's just ask for respect for hospitality in exchange for work and respect.My friend just arrived 10 days ago in Australia and me. I have already been there for a year where I have already done many jobs in farms and host family.

I’m joining WWOOFing because I want to connect with people on a meaningful level, learn more about the Australian lifestyle, and experience everyday life in a different setting. I’m curious to understand how others live, work, and see the world. For me, WWOOFing is a great way to exchange ideas, learn new skills, and contribute in a hands-on way. I’m excited to be part of daily routines, help where I can, and share stories along the way. It’s not just about traveling—it’s about building connections and learning from others through real-life experiences.

My interest in WWOOFing is in part connected to my family background. When I was growing up, for around 10 years my family would make a ritual trip to Victoria to look after my aunt and uncle's farm (a property that also hosted WWOOFers periodically). My interest in sustainable farming practices probably began there, and latterly has become something I'm keen to know more about. With my plan to spend several months travelling interstate, help exchange/farm stay work seems to be a great way of getting to know new people, and provides a means to experience destinations for longer. I'm a diligent worker (not afraid of manure), receptive to learning new skills and I look forward to exploring new places.

Our beautiful 5 acre berry farm is located in Victoria's Central Highlands region near the renowned spa town of Daylesford. We have rich volcanic soils and are nestled on a high plain that is dotted with small extinct volcanos. We use regenerative farming techniques (permanent raised beds, heavy mulching, integrating native flora etc) to produce summer berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries) as well as garlic for sale at local farmers markets. We also make a range of artisanal products in our commercial kitchen including smoked garlic and a range of jams and chutneys. We can offer quality accommodation in our well appointed barn conversion (you will have your own kitchen and bathroom) and lots of tasty organic produce. We (Ben and Rachel) both went wwoofing in our 20s and we look forward to providing quality wwoof experiences to a new generation of travelers, as well as giving our two young children the opportunity to meet people from different parts of the world. When we aren't farming we are often bushwalking, bike riding, camping and exploring local festivals.

Firewood business operated by a lessee / land sharer using coppice E. globulus resource.  Biochar kiln to utilise waste wood. Large vegetable garden. Hot house with raised beds. Substantial composting.

I’m a university student and majoring in agriculture and ecology, so I want to work in various farms. In addition, I want to enjoy the unique culture, scenery, and cuisine that can be experienced in Australia. Through working as a WWOOFer, I want to not only deepen my knowledge of agriculture, but also improve my English skill. I’d like to make friends who are from different countries and talk about a variety of things.

We are so fortunate to live in paradise, high rainfall green pastures, nestled under magnificent mount Barrow. Usually once or twice a winter we’re treated to snow, adding a whole new element to our beautiful property. We proudly sit at our dining table and enjoy meals of all our own produce, from multiple vegetables to mouth watering beef. We have a closed in blueberry and raspberry enclosure ensuring our freezer is full and our cupboards stocked with preserves. We breed pedigree golden retrievers, black Angus cows, Birman cats, and light Sussex chooks go without saying, perfect entertainment for any animal lover. We have a permanent running creek, home for mountain trout and spectacular platypus who pop their delightful heads up every evening. Our house is quite large as our free range children have all left the nest. Leaving us with large empty bedrooms. Our wwoof guests are welcomed and treated as part of our family.
